and for purpofes to which ordinary wood is 
thought fufficient in the fineft houfes. Thus 
the walls, being more than fix feet thick, 
form a kind of frame foreach window, which 
is five feet deep on the infide ; and the whole 
of this fpacicus cafe, not excepting the top, 
is lined with mahogapy of more than an inch 
in thicknefs. The window-frames which 
hold the magnificent plate-glafs panes, three 
feet each in height, are of courfe of the fame 
material ; and the folid mahogany doors are 
held in cafes, which the thicknefs of tine in- 
ner walls renders perhaps four feet deep, all 
lined with pannels of the moft beautiful 
yrain. It was once intended to floor ali the 
beft rooms with this coftly wood ; but, when 
it was tried im one apartment, the effeét was 
found to be too gloomy. 
The executors of the late Mr. Aburn late- 
ly paid sol. into the hands of the treafurer, 
as alegacy for the benefit of the charity-

At Norwich, 4ool. was fubferibed at a 
meeting lately heid for the purpofe of reliev~ 
ing the poor. The magiitrates of that city 
are befides extremely active in their endea- 
vours to preferve the peace, to protect deal- 
ers, &¢., coming to market, and to prevent 
and punifh foreftaliing and regrating. They 
have lately fined twenty-five perfons, whom 
they found poffeffed of and ufing falfe weights 
and meafures. 
The Norwich Friars’ Society, for accom- 
modating the poor with foup and bread, have 
already begun to diftribute their bounty, . 
During the laft winter they delivered, gratis, 
23,464 tickets, each of which entitled‘the 
bearer toa quart of foup and a penny loaf. 
At prefent the poor of Norwich bear a much 
greater proportion to the other inhabitants 
than thefe of moft other places, owing td the 
failure of their manufatures. 
The herring-fifhery has been, and ftill 
continues to be,. very fuccefsful on the Nor- 
folk coaft : 200,000 have been fold on fome 
days at Norwich, at four fora penny, to the 
great relief of the poor. 
A few days ago, when the new fheriffs of 
Norwich took poflefion of the gacl, it con- 
tained only one prifoner, and that a deferter, 
who had been committed the fame mcro- 
ing.
